NACFB is the leading trade body for commercial finance brokers in the U.K. and gaining full membership without being part of a principal network is not easy given their robust criteria for joining.
NACFB membership is a mark of professionalism, that ensures that Vaughans members adhere to the highest ethical and regulatory standards.
By joining a NACFB assured network like Vaughans, you gain access to invaluable resources, training, and industry insights, enabling you to deliver exceptional service to clients.
Additionally, NACFB membership strengthens your reputation with lenders and clients alike, positioning you as a trusted expert and opening doors to enhanced opportunities and partnerships.

Before I joined Vaughans, I worked as a standalone commercial finance broker so I was unable to join NACFB which meant that I was not able to access key funders and I missed industry insight and training.
All that’s covered now I’m a Vaughans member which has opened a world of new opportunity to my firm.”
